1019 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221
1019 Putnam Avenue is a 16-unit, 4-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Antonnette Taylor and constructed in 1920 as an old law tenement. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent significant incident occurring in December 2022 when there was a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored within days. Other notable issues include multiple plumbing problems in 2020 (including heavy water flow and damp spots), a refrigerator appliance problem in 2020, and a mold-related unsanitary condition reported in October 2021.
The building underwent a Department of Buildings investigation in 2021 for alleged illegal conversion, which resulted in a violation for unauthorized construction of bathroom facilities in the cellar. During a December 2022 inspection, several safety-related violations were documented, including missing carbon monoxide detector requirements, improper posting of gas leak procedures, and a defective self-closing door in the vestibule. Despite these maintenance challenges, the building has consistently passed annual rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 showing no issues.
The property has maintained an active bedbug management program, with all recent filings (2024, 2023, and 2022) reporting zero infested or re-infested units. The building has also maintained compliance with various safety posting requirements following the December 2022 violations, with certification dates between February 2023 and December 2023 showing proper implementation of required notices related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and other safety information. While there have been multiple service requests and violations documented over the years, most have been addressed and closed, with the building showing recent improvements in maintaining proper safety documentation and passing inspections.
